Orton critique le style “risqué” de NXT

Après avoir insulté Tommaso Ciampa sur Twitter, Randy Orton s’en prend maintenant au style de lutte adopté par NXT.

Durant un appel-conférence afin de promouvoir le PPV Backlash, Orton a affirmé qu’il est inquiet pour les lutteurs de cette division car ils mettent leurs carrière en danger par leur style plus risqué dans le ring.

“The NXT guys worry me because I see them doing such highly physical things during their matches. They do so many physically impressive things, but those things are dangerous and they wear and tear on your career.”

Orton ajoute que le fait de raconter une histoire dans le ring est malheureusement mis de côté, alors que certains lutteurs se concentrent sur le côté acrobatique

“I’m not gonna name names, but a lot of NXT guys work like this. It was just trainwreck after trainwreck after trainwreck. It was all very impressive, but when it’s all said and done and the match is over, I couldn’t remember anything that happened because it was all movement.”

Orton rappelle qu’il lutte depuis 20 ans, espérant continuer jusqu’à l’âge de 50 ans. Il préfère raconter des histoires dans le ring, par le biais entre autres des expressions de son visage et en improvisant durant le combat.

“I’ve been doing this 20 years, and I’ll do it another decade. I just turned 40. My plan would be to keep going until my 50th birthday. I think that I would be able to do that, and I would be able to support my family for 30 years of wrestling under Vince McMahon, because of the way that I tell stories in the ring. The facial expressions, the little transitional things that you do on the fly, or that you ad lib during a match, those are the things that people remember.”

Orton soutient que Ciampa devrait lui-même utiliser son approche et ralentir dans le ring, au lieu de croire que les fans veulent qu’il se tue littéralement dans le ring.

“He needs to learn how to tell stories and slow it down and not think that the fans want to see him kill himself.”

“The Viper” se dit toutefois prêt à affronter Ciampa dans le ring, si la WWE le veut, car ce lutteur de NXT est talentueux.

Orton conclut en disant que le corps a ses limites et qu’en luttant plus intelligemment, on peut prolonger sa carrière.

“The human body wasn’t designed to be able to withstand that type of abuse. If you only get three or four years of a career with the WWE because you did a lot of careless, reckless, dangerous moves, you would have to look back and kick yourself in the ass and wish that you didn’t. There’s a smarter way to do it. Smarter, not harder.”
